Trim, peel and dice fresh beets (including some of the tops), carrots and spring onions.  Toss in olive oil, season with S&P and roast in a 400 degree oven until caramelized, about 15 minutes.  Allow to cool somewhat.

Meanwhile, toast coarsley chopped nuts (such as pecans and pistachios) in a dry skillet.  Set aside.

Trim, rinse and dry fresh arugula and spinach.  Toss lightly in aged balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

To assemble salad, mound greens on a chilled plate, top with warm roasted vegetables, toasted nuts and cheese.  Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the top.
